## Opinion text

GOODWIN, Chief Judge,
dissenting:
I dissent from part C of the majority opinion. I realize that it is virtually impossible to fire a government employee. However, a person who proves himself untrustworthy around the cash register is not, in my view, entitled to a management search for an alternative job in another part of the plant.
